About Us

We are an independently-owned business with a passion for great wine, fresh local food and speciality coffee, all served in a relaxed and friendly environment right in the heart of Reading. With a wealth of experience and a real desire to create something special, Tasting House is an ever-evolving project, putting our customers first. Stop by and join us on our journey...

Our Wines

We are really open-minded when it comes to wine and simply love exploring new regions and varieties. Wine is for everyone and we adopt a professional yet relaxed attitude when it comes to making recommendations, with our list starting at just £10 right up £100+.

With approximately 150 wines in the shop, we offer a great off-trade service as well as a selection of 24 wines dispensed through our Enomatic self-service machines (25ml, 75ml and 125ml serves). Throughout the week we also serve up fizz by the glass and have a constantly changing “stickie” to enjoy in, as well as great selection of Siren craft ales and soft options.

Food

Food is an important part of Tasting House and we never shy away from trying new dishes and evolving the menu in line with the season, creating dishes, where possible, that are perfect for sharing.

Charcuterie is at the core of our menu, where we serve a great selection of cured meats and cheese. We also freshly prepare a range of artisan toasties along with crostini’s and plenty of mezze items for snacking, which are available throughout the day.

At the weekends, from Friday eve through to Sun daytime, we add some delicious brunch items centered around eggs, with the evening menu focusing very much on our amazing flatbread pizzas, freshly prepared to order.

Events

We run some great wine tasting events throughout the year at Tasting House, exploring numerous countries, regions, grape varieties and themes, as well as embracing the natural, organic and biodynamic movement which throws up some fantastic and sometimes quirky wines.

With a relaxed, informative and friendly environment, our events allow you to explore wines from around the world whilst you deepen your wine knowledge, discover new tastes and meet like-minded wine lovers.

Corporate

Our space is perfect for getting away from the office to catch up with a client over coffee, or to relax after work with a glass or two of quality wine. We have plenty of room on our ground floor and a larger space for up to 34 people on the first floor, ideal for an alternative meeting room or for entertaining clients or the team.

We also run bespoke tasting events for corporate customers which are a great idea for team building or for offering clients a fun and alternative evening out. Drop us a line on the enquiry form below and we'll send you some information on what we can offer along with tasting and event ideas.
